Review for Physics in Perspective of: Lost in Math: How Beauty Leads Physics Astray, by Sabine Hossenfelder. Basic Books ISBN: , pages, $ (hardcover) Abstract: This is a review of Hossenfelder’s book, Lost in Math: How Beauty Leads Physics Astray. Hossenfelder, herself an accomplished theoretical physicist, argues it is because physicists are beguiled by the idea of (mathematical) “beauty”, and are being led astray in their work. In her first book for a popular audience, a “story of how aesthetic judgment drives contemporary research,” Hossenfelder (editor: Experimental Search for Quantum Gravity, ), a research fellow at the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies in Germany, expresses despair that the golden age of physics ended with her parents’ generation. By the s, a torrent of Nobel Prizes went to physicists who unified a confusing mélange of subatomic particles into the elegant standard model.
